Frequently asked questions
Can Tamik Injection be given or injected into muscles?
No, Tamik Injection should not be administered by injection into the muscles. It must be given strictly through slow injection into the veins to prevent side effects.
Is Tamik Injection dangerous?
Like all medicines, Tamik Injection has potential side effects. These are unlikely if taken as directed; however, it's crucial to be aware of possible serious side effects that can occur rarely, such as anaphylaxis (red and lumpy skin rash, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, mouth, lips or eyelids). Other rare side effects include clots forming in other parts of the body or eye problems. Consult your doctor before starting treatment and follow instructions carefully.
Can Tamik Injection cause DVT?
Tamik Injection promotes blood clotting, which helps prevent excessive bleeding. However, this can lead to a rare chance of developing a clot in the deep leg veins (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT). While various studies suggest that increased risk of clot formation is also linked to other factors besides Tamik Injection itself. Notably, female patients using Tamik Injection are more likely to develop DVT.
Can Tamik Injection affect color vision in the eyes?
Long-term treatment with Tamik Injection may cause alterations in your perception of colors. Regular eye checks during treatment and informing your doctor about any vision changes are essential. Your doctor may stop the medication or suggest an alternative if any changes are detected.
Can Tamik Injection cause pulmonary embolism?
Tamik Injection promotes blood clotting, which can occasionally lead to a blood clot traveling to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) - a serious condition that can be fatal. Pulmonary embolism is not a common side effect of Tamik Injection but can occur in some cases of overdosing, those with prolonged bed rest or individuals at a higher risk for this condition. While research suggests the increased risk of clotting might have various other causes as well.
Can you take Tamik Injection on an empty stomach?
Tamik Injection can be taken with or without food, preferably followed by a glass of water. The medication should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
Can I take Tamik Injection for more than 5 days?
The duration and dose of this medicine are determined based on the specific disease it's prescribed for. For heavy menstrual bleeding, it's typically taken for up to five days. In other cases, its dosage and duration may be shorter or extended beyond five days at the discretion of your prescribing doctor.
Does Tamik Injection affect fertility?
Tamik Injection does not affect fertility. It's used for heavy menstrual bleeding, and existing research suggests no interference with ovulation (the process of egg release from the ovaries) as a result of its usage. Therefore, this medicine is not considered contraceptive.
Can Tamik Injection be taken for nose bleeding?
Yes, Tamik Injection can be utilized to treat nosebleeds. It helps to clot the blood and prevent further bleeding. If frequent nose bleeds are observed, the medication may be taken for a week.
